Volunteer

Volunteers can assist at our Drop-In-Center in a variety of ways. Some volunteers elect to design or teach their own classes. Others act as joint-teachers or teacher's assisstants. Many attend on Saturdays between 10:30 AM and 12 Noon when we break students into 1-1 pairs or small groups. Volunteers can then help the students with their classwork or practice speaking--its a casual way to volunteer while giving English Language Learners some individualized assistance.
